Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical - mathematical extension for NumPy library. Pyplot is a state-based interface to a Matplotlib module which provides a MATLAB-like interface.

Matplotlib.pyplot.yticks() Function

The annotate() function in pyplot module of matplotlib library is used to get and set the current tick locations and labels of the y-axis.
Syntax: matplotlib.pyplot.yticks(ticks=None, labels=None, **kwargs) Parameters: This method accept the following parameters that are described below:
  • ticks: This parameter is the list of xtick locations. and an optional parameter. If an empty list is passed as an argument then it will removes all xticks
  • labels: This parameter contains labels to place at the given ticks locations. And it is an optional parameter.
  • **kwargs: This parameter is Text properties that is used to control the appearance of the labels.
Returns: This returns the following:
  • locs :This returns the list of ytick locations.
  • labels :This returns the list of ylabel Text objects.
The resultant is (locs, labels)
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.pyplot.yticks() function in matplotlib.pyplot: Example #1: Python3 1==
# Implementation of matplotlib.pyplot.yticks()
# function

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
# values of x and y axes 
valx = [30, 35, 50, 5, 10, 40, 45, 15, 20, 25] 
valy = [1, 4, 3, 2, 7, 6, 9, 8, 10, 5] 
  
plt.plot(valx, valy) 
plt.xlabel('X-axis') 
plt.ylabel('Y-axis') 
  
plt.xticks(np.arange(0, 60, 5)) 
plt.yticks(np.arange(0, 15, 1)) 
plt.show() 
Output: Example #2: Python3 1==

    z = np.load(f)
    # z is a numpy array of 15x15
    return z, (3, 19, 4, 13)
 
 
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=[5, 4])
 
Z, extent = get_demo_image()
 
ax.set(aspect=1,
       xlim=(0, 65),
       ylim=(0, 50))
 
 
axins = zoomed_inset_axes(ax, zoom=2, loc='upper right')
im = axins.imshow(Z, extent=extent, interpolation="nearest",
                  origin="upper")
 
plt.xlabel('X-axis') 
plt.ylabel('Y-axis')
 
plt.yticks(visible=False)
 
 
plt.show()
